"Mike Breen double bang": Stephen Curry details why his 'ridiculous' Olympic golden dagger ranks just behind the iconic OKC game

Throughout his career, Stephen Curry has racked up his fair share of iconic moments. As he continues his international tour, the former MVP put his 2024 Paris Olympics dagger just behind what some consider his most memorable shot.

At the start of the Olympics, Curry struggled to find rhythm with Team USA. However, things completely changed in the final two matchups. Among his top highlights from the tournament came in the gold medal game against hosts France, when he got a 3-pointer to fall over an outstretched Victor Wembanyama.

In a video posted by Under Armour and Slam on Instagram on Wednesday, Stephen Curry was asked where this shot ranks among his all-time best.

"It's so memorable because of the build-up to that moment," Curry said. "My first Olympic experience. Four 3's in a row to close out the gold medal game. And that last one which was kind of a ridiculous shot even by my standards. It's like top 2 for sure."

Although he put it in his top two, Curry couldn't bring himself to place it above his iconic dagger against the OKC Thunder.

"It's like top two for sure," Curry said. "I think the OKC game, even though it wasn't a championship game it was still kinda one of the Mike Breen double bang. Just a loud shot in our rise as a team."

The shot Curry is referencing came during the 2016 season. During a weekend primetime matchup, the Golden State Warriors star knocked down a dagger from just inside the half-court line.

NBA analyst speaks on Stephen Curry possibly winning another championship with the Golden State Warriors

In an era where stars are constantly on the move, Stephen Curry remains loyal to the franchise that drafted him. As the Golden State Warriors gear up for the 2024-25 season, one analyst shared his thoughts on the outlook of the franchise.

While on ESPN's "NBA Today," analyst Zach Lowe opened up on the idea of Curry winning another title with the Warriors. He feels it's a long shot and would take Golden State to find a hidden gem like a previous dynasty was able to do.

"It's going to take a home run, a lightning strike, something like the Spurs got with drafting Kawhi Leonard toward the end of Tim Duncan's prime," Lowe said.

"They're a good team. They could win a round. If things go right they could even win two rounds. But they're not a contender."

The Warriors have depth, but Stephen Curry is their only form of star power. Klay Thompson departed in free agency, and Draymond Green is still a do-it-all connector piece. Behind Curry, Golden State has to hope Jonathan Kuminga can replicate the run he had at the end of last season when he became a full-time starter.

One thing the Warriors have going for them is Curry is still a high-level player at this stage of his career. Last season, he averaged 26.4 points and 5.1 assists while shooting 40.8% from beyond the arc. Curry is capable of keeping Golden State competitive, but their days of true contention could be behind them.
